Dayspring and Shane Walsh
Dayspring and Shane Walsh: A memorable ceremony for this couple
California couple Dayspring and Shane had their sights set on getting married at a Los Angeles art collective, but their plans went down the drain when the Coronavirus epidemic happened.
Still, the lovely couple didn’t want to let the virus get in the way of their marriage, so they did what they could to have a simple yet memorable ceremony.
With only a few hours of planning, they were able to successfully manage a wedding in their apartment—complete with a cake and an ordained minister who happened to be the bride’s dad!

Jim and Lindsay knew they wanted to keep their chosen wedding date intact, so they had to find a clever way to make it happen with every guest’s safety in mind. Their grand country club nuptial was switched to a simple ceremony by the church steps. The huge guest list was trimmed to 20, inviting only close family members.
Despite these changes, loved ones who were unable to attend the wedding physically still showed their support to the couple by participating in a drive-by parade!

The events helped them realize that there’s no need for anything fancy as long as they have each other.
